Intercampus Program in Communicative Disorders

KU offers the following degree programs through its Intercampus Program in Communicative Disorders:

Clinical Doctor of Audiology The Au.D. degree program is intended to train audiologists for clinical practice and is designed to be completed in four years (including summers). This program meets the academic and clinical requirements of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and is accredited by the ASHA Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology.

Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology The master's degree program in speech-language pathology prepares new speech-language pathologists to enter the workforce and is typically completed in five full-time semesters, including a summer semester. This program will, in most circumstances, satisfy the American Speech-Language Hearing Association's certification standards for continuing on to the clinical fellowship year. A certificate of clinical competence in speech-language pathology is awarded upon completion of a successful clinical fellowship.

Clinical Doctor of Speech-Language PathologyA post-master's SLP.D. degree program is available for current speech-language pathologists wishing to pursue the highest level of advanced practice. A master's degree in speech-language pathology and current license are required for admission.

Doctor of Philosophy The Intercampus Program in Communicative Disorders offers Ph.D. programs in both speech-language pathology and in audiology for post-baccalaureate study of normal and disordered aspects of communication. These programs are designed to prepare suitably qualified individuals for leadership positions in research and academia. A major focus of these programs is to advance the science of these fields, and to elucidate the scientific basis for the procedures and processes used in clinical practice.

Students pursuing these graduate degrees take course work on the medical center campus in Kansas City and on the main campus in Lawrence. A student may reside in either community. Block scheduling of courses reduces the frequency of commuting. A committee of faculty from both campus departments is responsible for instruction, curriculum planning, student selection and advising, clinical practicum policies, and course scheduling.
